    Free To Fail

     | 5,941 views

    Sharing and 'doing' love is something that we can do in response to the love that Jesus has already shared with us. However, when we love, we may also fail.

    - Opening Remarks and Introduction Last week we started a new series called “Love Does” based on a book of that same title by the author Bob Goff. As the name suggests, our sermons for the next few weeks are going to talk a lot about love. Not just the emotion of love, but what we do when we ...read more

    Learning to discern and declare the truth of who Jesus is in a world filled with noise.

    Introduction – The Noise Around Us Good morning, church. We live in a world that never stops talking. Every day, we’re surrounded by more words, opinions, and messages than our hearts can process. Social media feeds us one perspective. News outlets feed us another.

    Jesus: "I will build My church."

    A. WHAT FUTURE DID JESUS SEE? “I will build My church” (Matt. 16:18). 1. An entity, He begins – “I will.” 2. Didn’t exist then or in Old Testament. 3. Continuous development – “Be building.” 4. Uniquely Jesus’ possession – “My.” 5. He would gather them into an assembly. 6. Victory “all the ...read more

    Storming The Gates Of Hell

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Matthew 16:18–19 (NKJV) “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more

    When Jesus Builds The Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 153 views

    What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

    Your strength is not in your personality or your powerful will, it is in Christ.

    A. PETER THE ROCK “When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, ‘Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?’ So they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I ...read more

    "Jesus, The Exclusive Savior”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 24, 2021
     | 2,424 views

    The consensus- that some things were right others wrong is now replaced by a new "trinity": worship tolerance, celebrate diversity, praise pluralism, equity not equality. Woe to the man who dares speak against the New Trinity. A story: confession, a fable. John Stott, quote.

    In Jesus Holy Name Lent II February 28, 2021 Text: Mark 8:27,29 Redeemer “Jesus, The Exclusive Savior” We live in a “postmodern” age. If that term is new to you, it simply means that we live in an age in which ...read more

    MATTHEW 16:18 “HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL” A) Christ came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, and He withdrew Himself to be alone with His disciples! * He was facing the end very, very soon ...

    Pilgrim’s Way

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 1, 2021
     | 2,845 views

    We all have family and friends who are members of the local church and may not be a member of the universal church. So I feel the need to teach a little on what it means to be a member of the universal church.

    In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." The church here refers to the universal church, which comprises all the redeemed believers who are born again by the Spirit, without limit of time ...read more

    Confession Of Peter And Jesus Series

     | 3,727 views

    Matthew wrote the Hebrews to understand that Jesus of the Nazareth was the Messiah sent by Yahweh. He developed his Gospel from exclusion to the inclusion of the Gentiles. The confession of Peter is the center of the revelation.

    Theme: Confession of Peter Text: Matthew 16:13-28 Greetings: The Lord is good; His love endures forever. We are meditating under the theme: “Perfect the good work” throughout this Lent season. From this week onwards we are journeying with Christ from Galilee to Jerusalem. Our ultimate station is ...read more

    This is the first message in the Unhindered Series. It will provide encouragement that as Christians we are part of Christ's kingdom. A kingdom that will not be hindered nor will it be defeated.

    Unhindered: Unhindered Kingdom Life has a way of making us feel very hindered in living a full life in Christ. Finances, healthcare, addiction, politics, violence, morality, time, faith, relationships/family…they all can be very hindering at times. What things are hindering you in your walk with ...read more
